How to Create an Outdoor Winter Wonderland in Your Garden
The holiday time is upon us and it is the time where we can all enjoy and create a warm and inviting spirit in our homes. You might think that we need to do a lot of work in order to get this done but with these ideas, you can turn your outdoor space into a winter wonderland.
The first thing that you should do is use decorative lights to add a beautiful twinkle to the night sky. It's easy to find these lights at your local home goods store or online at Amazon, Target or Walmart for the best selection. The next thing that you want to do is add some plants, flowers and bushes to decorate your garden. You can use evergreens, magnolias, and ivy plants which will make your outdoor space look great while also keeping a sustainable flair; planting anything native to the region is always a benefit to local conservation efforts.
We've collected some photos and ideas of how you can create an outdoor winter wonderland for your home.
1. Set up a Christmas tree in the garden with solar lights lights and decorations to make it look like a winter wonderland
2. Place fairy lights on trees and bushes around the house to make your house look magical
3. Plant some evergreens around the front door with red berries
4. Hang some stockings by the fireplace or outside with festive Christmas lights
Holiday Window Box Displays for Indoors or Outdoors
Window boxes are a great way to display holiday cheer. They are also a beautiful way to bring a bit of nature into your home. They have been popular through the years as a creative way to decorate for holidays or different seasons. They can be placed indoors or outdoors and can be as simple as a vase of flowers, or as complex as a full blown flower bed.
You can also use your outdoor planters as a decoration for the winter. Here's what you need: pinecones, greens from around the house & cinnamon sticks, all placed into assorted evergreens. This makes for a festive and seasonal arrangement, with a delicious wintry smell.
Window boxes can be placed indoors or outdoors with different plants and flowers. They make great window displays for holidays such as Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and many more.
The most important thing to remember is that the color scheme should match the ambience. If your home is decorated in reds and greens, don't go with all yellows and oranges. The idea is to have everything flow together seamlessly.

Seasonal Flower Arrangements for Your Home
For the winter season, it is best to get flowers that are easy to maintain. Dwarf hollies, blue junipers, and winterberry are examples of some living winter plants that give lasting winter color and a hearty vibe.
Decorate your home with seasonal flower arrangements to create a warm and welcoming environment. If you are looking to bring some cheer to your garden, consider adding these flowers that are native to cold climates.
-Snowdrops are one of the first flowers to bloom in winter, growing low to the ground and blooming early in the season.
- Forsythia also blooms very early in the spring season with golden yellow flowers that attract bees and other poll
- Berries are a common choice because they're easy to grow, look great in pots, and come in many colors like red, purple, white, or even yellow.
- Narcissus is also beautiful. They grow well indoors and look great when all of the white petals surround the yellow center. Snow
-Rosemary - Rosemary is a fragrant herb that is frequently used in traditional Christmas cooking. It has an attractive, piney scent and can be used in winter wreaths, potpourri, and the like to add the scent of Christmas to your home.
-Christmas cactus - The Christmas cactus blooms between Nov. and Jan., just in time for the holiday season. It's often mistaken for other kinds of cacti because of its thick, spiny leaves and shapely red flowers with yellow centers. The plant is easy to care for and thrives under low light conditions so it's perfect for indoor use during winter months when sunlight may be at a premium.
Holiday Themed Plants that Bring the Magic of the Season Inside
One of the things that can make a room feel warmer and more welcoming is adding some holiday themed plants to it. These plants are not just nice to look at, but they also give off a wonderful scent that will fill your home with the magic of the season.
Some of the most popular types of plants are those that are harvested around this time of year, such as holly or mistletoe. With these indoor plants, you can create a little winter wonderland in any room of your house or apartment. Plus, these plants require very little upkeep so you'll have more time for baking cookies and making Christmas crafts than cleaning up plant care.
The plants you choose for your home during the winter holiday season can have a significant impact on the mood of your space. If you are looking for plants that will help to bring the magic of the season inside, here are some great options to consider.
We recommend that you choose plants based on their appearance. If you are looking for plants that have pretty flowers or foliage, then you should go with something like a poinsettia, christmas cactus, or miniature Christmas tree. Consider a tree that is not a typical dime a dozen Christmas tree. Consider getting a blue juniper for a different fragrance and shape. Choosing the right indoor plant is important when it comes to bringing some holiday cheer into your home without waiting until December. For example, if you're looking for something that will survive in most environments without too much attention, then a cactus is probably your best bet. If you want an indoor plant that has interesting texture and form, then something like a succulent might be more appropriate. Both of these plants require a very light watering schedule and can survive in almost no light.
The holidays are all about giving thanks and celebrating the season with family and friends. When it comes to decorating, there is no need to wait until December to break out the holly! Fallen leaves and other natural materials will also bring the outdoors inside. Place them in a bowl or other decorative container and scatter them on the floor or use them as a table runner.
